I'm proud of the people of North Carolina. I went to Moral Monday on July 15, when nearly 3,000 people turned out to protest the actions of our current legislature, actions that are to North Carolina's national embarrassment.

As I listened to the speeches, I was reminded that all the buildings surrounding us belong to us - the people of North Carolina; they were paid for through our taxes. And we didn't do that to imprison ourselves, but for those buildings and the people in them - our employees - to serve all the people of North Carolina.
